FWIW, I am very excited about this patch and would be happy to review
it but have been very busy over the past month. If I can promise a
review by Thursday morning could we keep it active? Hopefully, at the
very least, I can provide some useful feedback and spawn some
community interest.

I am worried that there is a bit of a chicken and an egg problem with
this patch. I code nearly exclusively in python and C, but I have
often found pl/python to be very unwieldy. For this reason I often
use pl/perl or pl/pgsql for problems that, outside of postgres, I
would always use python. From the documentation, this patch seems like
an enormous step in the right direction.
